Skills shortage?

I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

"Workmen were using boring equipment some 34 feet below the surface"

I think they meant drilling equipment, not uninteresting equipment. They were trying to drill an hole to put a cable through.

Oh dear...

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus
